SENT BY:Xerox Telecopier 7021 ; 2- 2-84 ; 11 :18 ; 6127843638-; 612 784 3462;# 1 <br /> Notes on Draft Fire Contract - Workshop session of 1/10/94 <br /> Council concerns and recommendations for changes: <br /> 1. Term: 10 Years. Too long a time to commit. Council <br /> would agree to a term of 5 years, renewable in 5 year <br /> increments. <br /> 2. Concern over lack of accountability to elected officials. <br /> Recommendation is to state that the Administrative <br /> Committee will review the budget and make recommendations <br /> to their respective City Councils for City Council approval. <br /> 3 . Eliminate Paragraph 6,6. The Council has concerns about <br /> tying reductions in the Fire Department budget to similar <br /> reductions in other public safety departments. The City <br /> Councils should be free to make budget reductions in any <br /> department as they deem necessary. <br /> 4. Paragraph 16.2: States that the City will indemnify and <br /> hold harmless the Fire Department but the Fire Department <br /> agrees to hold the Cities harmless "only to the extent <br /> of its insurance coverage." The same limitation should <br /> also be true for the cities, i.e. , the cities should <br /> hold the Fire Department harmless, only to the extent <br /> of their insurance coverage. <br /> 5. We need a copy of the lease agreement which is Exhibit A <br /> of the contract before approving the contract. <br /> Concerns were also expressed by the City Attorney and City Council <br /> that one city has the authority to make all decisions. We would <br /> like to see the joint powers agreement amended to require agreement <br /> by two cities. <br /> 10g.t <br /> i��ngmim 00 * l <br /> 4410 <br /> �� b�rdt�` t i tr b <br /> S <br /> 41101° <br /> c� 3 <br />
